I like Cracked.com, I really do. Like a lot of great randomized comedy (I’m thinking Saturday Night Live, Kids in the Hall, Monty Python) it can be a bit hit and miss. It has a fair number of articles and videos that go nowhere, but when it’s great it’s really great; not just funny, but often shockingly educational.

For example, David Wong coined the concept of the Monkeysphere, which I love to use whenever I can to discuss the finer points of secular morality. They introduce me to bizarre pop culture history that I would never have seen otherwise. Sometimes they even take up the mantle of Snopes, debunking historical myths that people seem to believe for some reason.
